development theories
DESCRIPTION
A2 Geography lesson on the theories of development including demographic transition, rostows model, the neo-liberalism to marxism continuum, and the world systems theory.TRANSCRIPT
“The humble latrine reduces disease by twice as
much as just putting in clean water.”
“I'd grown up thinking that a toilet was my right,
when in fact it's a privilege — 2.5 billion people
worldwide have no adequate toilet.”
- Rose George, Lets Talk Crap: Seriously, Ted Talk, 2013
Learning Objective
By the end of this lesson I will…
Understand the theories that have been put forward to explain the widening development gap between nations
